There were traces of blood about the mouth and the face had a bluish tint. The priést's clothing was stained with blood near the four bullet holes in the chest. The first wound was in the chest bone, near the fifth rib. The course of all the bullets' was from. the left to the right and downward. The second bul- let was between the third and fourth ribs, the third ball went in four inches beneath thé arm pit dnd the fourth was near the bdck. There were no other marks of violence.

In the chest, No. 1 bullet went straight in and missed the heart, buying .itself in the back musclés. No. 2 bullet grazed the liver and’ splintered: the sixth rib, lodging in the flesh. The bullets were of thirty-two calibre and one was in- troduced as an exhibit. Dr. Bunce said said in reply to a question that any one of the wounds might have been. fatal, but the one in theé liver would surely have re- sulted in death. Woman' Was Strangled.

On the morning of Tuesday, Feb- ruary 9, Miss Gutauskas went to the priest’s house at 8:30 o'clock, she said. 1t was her custom to go to mass ab the church every morning and ihe priest was always there. On this morning she noticed that the priest's house was closed and thought he was iil Repeated knocks at the daor and inquiries of neighbors failed to locate the clergyman, Miss Gutauskas was unable to get into school as Miss Gil- manaitis always: opened it, so sent a boy thraugh the window of the parish | house and he unlocked the cellar door for Miss Gutauskas. She went up- stairs and found the priest lying dead on the ‘loar and the house upset. Sne then'retraced her steps and in an ex- cited manner told her story. Officer H. C. Lyon was passing and was cailed into the house, she said. Miss Gusauskas Wwas questioned dlosely by Attorney Day about the keys but the girl insisted that ghe had seen Miss Gilmanaitis use keys “just like” the one exhibited.

He entered the house through the cellar and. found the priest dead. ‘He felt: .of the body and found it'cold. After notifying police headquarters, ' Of- ficer Lyon searched for Miss Gilmana- itis and found her dead-on the attic floor. He then déscribed the condi- tion of the body and said the house was completely ~ransacked, drawers from the desk and bureaus being strewn about the floor. On the altic stairway was an iron bed stead tipp- ed and blocking the stair. The attic door was opén when the officer vush- ed up and latéer he found indications ‘that the door had been pried &pen.

Miss Annie Gutauskas, aged 19, of 237" Whiting ‘street, the school teacher who found the body, testified to ner discoveries on the morning of Febru- ary 9. She has always known Father Zébris and taught in his parochlal school, seeing both of the victims dafly. The girl said Mise Gilmanaitis was a powerful woman and was ac- custéméd to take care of the church furnaces. She always carried the chureh keys on a ring and she also took care of the house fires, the girl gald. = The . dead woman did all the Janitor work of the church and kept all of the rooms locked. The young teacher also declared that in the church audiforium there are nine or ten doors, but not all of these were locked. The doors locked were the outside doors and doors leading irto some of the rooms used by the priest. Miss Gutduskas said Miss Gilmanai- tis used to gét up early and always carfied her keyes as was évidenced by the nolse they made. Staté's At- torney Aleorn showed the witness two bunches of keys, some of which she {dentified as ‘those carried by the housekeeper, ' She explained lust what doors certain keys would open and the bunch was offered as evidenco, Mr, Day’s first objection was to of- fering all the keys as evidence.

She keeps a boarding house and says she niet Peter Krakas, who was hanged in Wilmington, when he boarded at her house in Taunton about six weeks before Christmas. He gave her his name as Perter Mélba and stayed with her six weeks. He ‘répresénted himself to her as an in- surance agent and for first two Weeks | he stayed at home, Latér he stayed out unt{l midnight and one night was out all night, She-identified Montvid as a man she saw when he first came from Burope. He also visited her house with Melba at Christmas time. As Montvid ‘stood up to be idéntified he trembled precepubly and seemed greatly agitated., The witness de- clared that Peter moved to ‘“Péter Cesnulivicz’s. house” right after Christmas and the last time she saw Mougtvid in Taunton was after Christ- mas, She did not see ‘either there af- terwards, Attorneys for the accused asked the Taunton woman to éxplain what kind of o man Petér wes and she reéplied, “He was alwayé a sport, he was well dressed.” Trenibles With Fear. Peter Cesnulivicz also from Taun- ton, identified Montvid and again the accused arose in a frightened and trembling manner, After Christmas, he said, Peter Krakas lived at his house and last June, hé said, Mont- vid livéd at his house too. At that time Montvid kept a barber shop and pool room in Taunton, Krakas stayed at the witness' house only three days l after Christmas. The last time he saw I Montyid was.in Taunton at Christmas wien, he visite. a cousin who lives at witness’ home. To questions from Attorney Day, ths witness said Krakas was a good looking man and told him he was seeking work. He has known Mont- vil four years and got him a job when he first came to this country. He kept this job five months and went to New Bedford and did not return to Taun- ton for three years when he came back and opened asbarber shop on Washington street in Taunton. His onl* employee. wa Charley Petracu- kas, a cousin of the accused. Steve Pauauchas, another Taunton m:n identified Montvid as an old ac- quaintance and said he knew Peter K -akas. Montvid pulled nervously at his coat as he was pointed out by the witness. Witness saw. Peter Krakas on the streets of Taunton about four waek before last Christmas. . The last time.he saw him was @ ..couple of weeks before Christmas but never saw Phim in Montvid’s barber shop. The witness saw Montvid on' Christmas ev: the last time. On this evening the ‘accused shaved him, he said. At this juncture recess. was de- clared until 2 o’'clock. Stanislaw Barron of Taunton iden- tified Montvid as a man who leased a barber shop of him in Taunton on August 28, 1914, intending to keep it for five years. He disappeared short- ly after Christmas, taking his effects with him. State's Attorney Aleorn at this point introduced a bill of lad- ing and a freight bill for a shipment of goods made by Montvid from Taunton to Chicage. John Barron, son’ of Stanislaw, tdld a story similar to that of his father and said he saw Krakas learning to shave in Montvid's shop. Jeweler Identified Loot. John Schiblowsky, a Brockton, Mass., jéweler, told of being held up and sandbagged in Bridgewater, Mass., on the night of December 17, 1914. He' identifled seventeen watches, twenty-eight rings, five bracelets, one pair of cuff links, five stickpins, two brooches, six chains and four pendants which State’s Attorney Alcorn pro- duced. These, he said, were stoleén from him when he was held up. The jewelry was found among Montvid’s effects when he was arrested with Krakas in Wilmington, Delaware. Local Man Identifies Montvid. Otto Breither of 330 Arch street, this city, testified to renting a room to Montvid and Krakas on January 20. The men said@ they were “Charles Morris” and “Jack Kelson" and appeared to be well supplied with money, Breither said. He identified a bag taken from Montvid in Wilming- ton as having been in his possession at the time he hired the room. Breither said that his roamers rep- resented themselves to be insurance agents. to Krakas: “Did You read the letter we received from the home office to- day?” Krakas winked, as a sign to keep silent, Breither said. That night Krakas went away and Montvid said: “He will not be back for sov- eral weeks. We are not insurance agents but are detectivek.” Breither identified 4 portable type- writer found in the pc:s::ion of Mont- vid in Wilmington as ng been in his possession in the Arch street hause. The state claims that this machine was used by the accused to write black mailing letters such as were re- ceived by Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski. At press time this afternoon Brei- tHer was still on the stand. COOK WAS SUSPECTED. Alleged Highwayman Was Thought to Have Been Murderer. Chief William J.
